The game uses a top-down view and grid-based movement. Players place bombs to defeat enemies, break destructible blocks, and open routes across each stage. Bomb blasts travel in a cross pattern, so positioning and escape routes matter just as much as attack timing. Power-ups increase blast range, movement speed, the number of bombs that can be laid, and special movement properties. In multiplayer, success depends on trapping rivals, controlling lanes, and timing chain explosions to cut off safe paths.

Strategy
Clear escape routes before committing to a bomb, especially in narrow corridors. Prioritize speed early so you can collect power-ups and dodge your own blasts more reliably. In versus play, use blocks to predict movement and force opponents into dead ends. Avoid chasing every item if it exposes you to a trap; surviving longer usually leads to better control of the arena.
